The “Leadership Development Program for Veterans” is a highly competitive program offered by world-class leadership development experts for veterans transitioning into civilian careers. Selected applicants will receive transformational training from global leadership development professionals from Exelis and Korn/Ferry International starting Jan. 24, 2014. This unique program consists of three interactive days in Washington, D.C., followed by offsite, online, integrated learning components as well as individual coaching taking place over a four-month period.

The organizations are seeking applicants from any rank or military specialty who are currently leaving active or reserve duty, or veterans who transitioned out of the military within the last two years. There are no age limitations or education levels required to be eligible for the program. Participants should be committed to fully engaging in the program, with the goal of honing leadership skills for possible leadership opportunities in the civilian sector.

This Leadership Development Program for Veterans is the first of several that will occur across the country over the coming years.
